Winnable Battles Progress Report

We know the leading causes of injury, illness, disability, and death for Americans. Many of these result in needless suffering because, in fact, we have the knowledge and tools that could make a difference.

The Winnable Battles listed below aren’t CDC’s only health priorities, but they are areas where dedicated focus can quickly achieve good results.

CDC’s Winnable Battles programs are evidence-based, cost-effective ways to tackle these health challenges. We have set goals and established key indicators to measure our progress, and the below links provide you with a progress report of our work.

Together with our partners, we are having a positive impact on health by focusing on what works now. We’ve made progress in most areas, but still have more to do to meet our 2015 goals.
